In a blog post quite some time ago now, I alluded to the work I was doing on this quilt. Now, I am so excited to get to show it off! A friend of mine who is expecting and I began a search for the perfect pattern for her baby room. I found the Chain Linked pattern by Amy Smart at Diary of a Quilter and thought it was a beautiful modern quilt pattern that fit the fabrics we had already chosen beautifully! We were aiming for a gender neutral approach at the time and I was absolutely sold on this pattern when I stumbled across Lee at Freshly Pieced's take on this pattern. The offset of white/offwhite was a perfect fit!
The final size of the quilt completed at approximately 60" x 70". We used Kona in bone for the not-quite-white and a cream with white polka dots fabric for the main portion of the quilt. All other fabric selections we chose at our local Hancocks, including the adorable fabric that I used for the reverse side of the quilt. I absolutely love the dandelion-like print... it makes me happy every time I look at it! It was the perfect choice for a modern baby/child quilt selection! Love it.

On another note- and another little "something new"... I received my first custom quilt order through my Etsy shop! I placed the Modern-Brick Road Quilt in my shop and have received numerous inquires regarding custom making in other color/fabric selections. It has received a really great response and I just feel overwhelmingly blessed at having the opportunity to continue this venture and do something I love.
I'm working really hard on several other 'original' quilt pattern ideas, so stay tuned! I can't wait to unveil!!
